1 W Richland Fashion Mall continues
to keep with it's new motto,
"Coming Back In Style."
The two year plan to reconstruct
the 29-year-old mall into an upscale
fashion mall will be complete
in November, mall Public Relations
Manager Pat Adams said.
The L.J. Hooker Corp., which
owns the three-story Richland
Fashion Mall and Bonwit Teller
department store in the mall, filed
for bankruptcy this month. Because
of this, the company assigned
Cigoloff, an Australianbased
company, as its liquidator to
try to turn financial matters around,
Adams said.
Mall employees have been told
not to discuss the bankruptcy by
the company and declined to comment
about financial matters.
"We have nothing to hide, but
we have been told at our level that
all financial questions have to be
referred to New York, where our
home office is located," Bonwit
Teller Manager Carol Vella said.
"But we are happy and excited to
be in the Columbia area."
"I think there was a lot of negative
publicity at first, but we are
moving ahead and looking forward
to a good fall," said Casual Corner
Manager Sophie Keith. Her store,
which opened in Richland Fashion
Mall in April, recently won first
place in a district contest.
The mall currently has 29 open
stores, with 16 tentative openings.
When renovations are complete, it
will accomodate 160 stores,
spokesman Ken Trogdon said.
The food court in the mall will

be the only one of its kind in the
state, said Trogdon. It will open later
this week with 14 restaurants.
"Business is okay, but we could
stand to do a little better," Record
Bar Manager Scott Crosby said.
The Record Bar will be moving its
store into the food court to try to
attract more business, Crosby said.
"This mall is going to make money

or someone eise, urosoy saia.
Kevin Chiselko, store manager
of the upscale Parisian department
store, said there is a need in Columbia
for more sophisticated
stores that are customer-oriented.
The Richland Fashion Mall Parisian
will be one of 20 stores
owned by the Birmingham-based
company. Parisian has stores in
Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee,
Ohio and Florida.
"We consider ourselves a specialty
store, upscale and traditional,"
Chiselco said.
The Parisian will feature cartoon
corners for children, diaper changing
facilities for parents, free mailing,
gift wrapping and six-month
interest charge accounts available
to customers.
These are services which
Chiselco feels will separate the
Parisian from other department
stores in the Columbia area.
The Parisian will be featured in
the mall's grand opening Nov. 15.
The mall provides an atmosphere
of style with its brass rails
and glass elevator. Other features
include dancing fountains, colorful
pastel walls decorating the corridors
and parking facilties on the
roof and in a garage.
The mall is located at the corner
of South Beltline Blvd. and Forrest
Drive.

AP Television Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) ?
Harry Groener says: Don't
underestimate Ralph, the distressed
nebbish he plays on
NBC's "Dear John."
"Ralph shouldn't be taken at
face value," he says. "Here is
Ralph, who we might think of as
a lonely, pathetic kind of guy,
but he drives a motorcycle.
Somewhere in that nebbish soul
he's a romantic. He has some
Walter Mitty qualities.
"He's a sweet guy. I think his
problem arises from the fact that
he's socially inept His wife left

Prize-winning pianist. Ian Hobson,
who pursues a career as a professor,
conductor and soloist, will
perform next week at USC's Koger
Center for the Arts.
"Ian Hobson is a consummate
artist who plays with a passion that
is unexpected and astounding,"
Koger Center director Ron Pearson
said.
"I first met him at the University
of Illinois, where we both
worked, and his masterful performances
there made me sure that
his concert should kick off our
season at the Koger Center," Pearson
said.
Hobson's international career
took off in 1981 when he won first
prize at the Leeds International
Piano Competition, having already

insecure in social areas. Still, I

Groener plays the introverted
member of the One-To-One
Club, a support group for divorced
people on "Dear John."
He's tongue-tied around women.

Prior to "Dear John," he had a

of "The Country Girl" and in two
miniseries, "George Washington"
and "Kane and Abel." He had
guest roles in such series as "St.
Elsewhere," "Matlock" and "Remington

ever had on television was a
brief stint on "Captain
Kangaroo."
"I did three shows when I was
working in the theater in New
York," he said. "On the first
show I was a spaceman. The second
I was the curator of a numbers
